NEWS CHRISTCHURCH MAIL, OCTOBER 10, 2013 Band bypass disheartening By ABBIE NAPIER HIT BOY band One Direction will not be spotted at Christchurch International Airport today, dashing the dreams of teenage fans who have waited more than a year for a glimpse of the famous five. The international pop sensa- tions are flying into Christchurch for a one-off concert at CBS Arena. Twins Siobhan and Albany Beat, 14, are true One Directioners, with the band ‘‘from the start’’ and devoted to the heartthrob group. The pair had been planning on catching a glimpse of the five band members when they did their usual meet and greet with fans when they touched down at the airport. But late last week an airport spokesperson said the band had requested a non-public exit through the airport and fans would not see the band at all. Previous public appearances have seen the boys mobbed by screaming fans. While Siobhan was lucky to get hold of a spare concert ticket, Albany was missing out. ‘‘I think it’s really sad for the people who don’t get to go to the concert, like me,’’ Albany said. ‘‘They do it [meet fans] in other places, so why not Christchurch?’’ Siobhan said it was a bad look for the band to single out Christchurch. ‘‘It makes it seem like we’re the bad city,’’ she said. MISSING OUT: Albany Beat, left, cannot go to the concert with sister Siobhan and will now miss out on meeting the band too. The girls had planned to stake out the airport when the band’s flight got in, hoping for an autograph or photo. Mother Tracey Keefe said because tickets were so expensive, most One Direction fans, often teenage girls, wouldn’t get a chance to attend the concert, which had sold out in minutes. ‘‘It’s a lot of money for kids these days, or if you’re an adult taking younger girls,’’ she said. For parents and youngsters who couldn’t pay for a concert ticket, the airport glimpse of the band was the consolation prize. One Directioner Emily Young, 14, bought her concert ticket in April last year and had been anticipating the band’s arrival in Christchurch ever since. While she understood the band was often mobbed at public 3 appearances, she still felt they could have made the effort to appear, even for a few moments. ‘‘I’ve been planning this day for ages,’’ she said. ‘‘I would have waited hours to see them. ‘‘I’d just want to say I’d been in the same room as them.’’ Police abhorred at drivers’ speeds By ANNA PRICE CHRISTCHURCH DRIVERS were pinged at speeds of up to 152kmh on narrow feeder roads across the Selwyn district in a four month police sting on skifield routes. Canterbury Highway Patrol officers say the speeds and dangerous overtaking were staggering. Transgressors were stripped of their driving licence for 28 days on the spot and stung a collective $5000-plus in fines and hefty demerit points. Others were ticketed for driving unregistered vehicles. Operation Feeder was mounted in June for the ski season, targeting secondary roads to Mt Hutt, Porter Heights and club skifields Senior Sergeant Phil Newton said it served to underscore the need for more campaigns. Common speed spots were Bealey Rd from Hororata to State Highway 73, Telegraph Rd between Darfield and State Highway 1 and Thompsons Track from Rakaia to Mt Hutt. Despite advance warning, ‘‘those feeder routes still clocked SATURDAY 12 OCTOBER 9.00 - 1.00PM Variety of new and used scoot wheelchairs and walkerke “Simply the Bes As seen on TV Wheelchair Scooter Sales and Service and much, much, more!

That’s where our fatalities are – high speed and intersections – that’s where our problems are in the Selwyn region.’’ Although ski traffic was the pri- mary target, most speedsters were from Selwyn. Six drivers had their licences suspended for cruising at more than140kmh. Highest speed,152kmh. was clocked by a farmer on a side road on his way to a field day. Bagged past 150kmh, the driver has his day in court. Errant motorists included those on business as well as skifield traffic – and Saturday sports traffic which figured ‘‘quite high’’ with parents heading to Southbridge, Springfield and elsewhere. The no-questions strike ‘‘did work’’, Mr Newton said. ‘‘Speeds showed a dramatic decrease because of the enforcement – and word got around.’’ Speeds on state highways where patrols are expected could cut ‘‘dramatically’’. ‘‘But the real surprise was that speeds were as high as they were on the feeder routes,’’ he said. These included Telegraph Rd, Bealey and between Hororata and the Rakaia Gorge ‘‘These are long, straight nar- row country roads. Funnily enough, most drivers knew there would be some enforcement and still chanced their arm. Most thought it was a fair cop.’’ Police also observed an increase in unregistered and unwarranted vehicles and trailers. & games deli books fun facepainting food court sweets baking white elephant stall bbq crafts & gifts children’s games & toys entertainment plants good china & kitchen items cds + dvds 5241577AB
